C. ORD 15-086 Second Reading and Adoption of an Ordinance Amending Chapter 7
(“Buildings”), Article 8 (“Fees”) of the Oak Park Village Code to Establish an
Annual Building and Construction Permit Fees and Zoning Application Fees
Ordinance Requirement.
Village Attorney Paul Stephanides clarified that this ordinance will adopt an annual fee
requirement. The next ordinance on the agenda establishes the fees.
Director of Development Customer Services Tammie Grossman explained the method
used to determine some of the fees in order for those permits to be in proportion to the
cost of doing business. Other fees will become flat fees. She noted that in the past,
fees were determined by using a percentage of the construction cost. The proposed
new method will be more accurate in distributing the costs evenly among the permit
applicants, is an easier way to calculate the fess and should result in most fees
dropping slightly overall.
